US Sub & Grille

I walked into this little place cuz I didn't feel like walking down to Jake's on montrose and sheridan.  This is a typical Chicago sandwich and burger joint, no frills; which is what makes it good.  I got a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, ketchup and a fried egg over easy.  The burger was really good and the fries were fresh and crispy, and they didn't skimp on either.

Here's the best part, it was ready in about 5-7 minutes and it was $6 with a can of diet coke included. Awesome.  The food hit the spot and didn't break the bank.

Also the staff, while english is definitely a second language, is very nice.  Just be clear with your order and they are efficient and accommodating.  I will definitely be back since it's fairly close and because I got exactly what I wanted.  The clientele's a little iffy, but I just get it to go lol.  Check it out, guys. Take it for what it is.  Happy munching!

Crappy little place in a strip mall.

This place illustrates one of my theories about restaurants. I maintain that the pricier the food, the fewer times you need to repeat yourself. Cheap food, simple order - it seems like you have to say your order over and over as if they're discovering the menu item for the first time.

E: "Hello! Ham, egg and cheese sandwich, on toast, please. And a decaf coffee."

US Sub: "You want cheese?"

E: "Yes. Ham, egg and cheese sandwich, on toast, please."

US Sub: "Egg?"

E: "Yes. And ham and cheese . . . on toast, please. Like a sandwich?"

US Sub: "Sandwich? For here or to go?"

E: "Yes. Sandwich. For here"

US Sub: writes down "To Go". "Ohhhhhhhhhhkaayyyyyyy."

E. "For here. Here."

The sandwich itself was okay, nice slice of ham, but I'll never come back here. Unless I want a fake leather jacket, or a baseball cap embroidered with "DEA" "FBI" or "CIA" on it.

Very ghetto and unappealing. I only stopped in 'cos I was starving, hadn't had breakfast yet, and was searching for the Zipcar lot on Margate nearby.
